(April 27, 2017) John Shea is on the phone from Los Angeles, outlining the stops his film “Grey Lady” is making as it prepares to open nationwide. There have been premieres in Boston, New York and New Jersey. There have been ticket-buying crowds of 400, hand-picked audiences of 80 from the foreign-press corps and a benefit screening for a nonprofit that supplies custom cakes for critically-ill children.

“I feel like we’re a rock and roll band on tour,” he said. “The last one is tomorrow, the premiere for the red-carpet Hollywood crowd.”

Filming began on-island in the spring of 2014. “Grey Lady” is what Shea calls a “romantic thriller.” A Boston police detective, played by Eric Dane, comes to Nantucket following a trail he hopes will lead him to the murderer of his partner, only to unravel something deep inside himself and his family history.

Off-season Nantucket provides the backdrop.
